Broken Verses: Poems for the one's in love

By Aziz Udaipurwala

We all have a different story to tell, but there is a common thread that runs through all our stories and that thread is love. Love is, probably, the greatest plot twist in all of our stories. It brings to life, a whirlwind of emotions, some of which are never expressed, leaving a lot of room for 'what if...' 'Broken Verses' are a compilation of these emotions taking the form of poems and touching that chord in your heart that still beats somewhere silently. This very chord of love beats through all the verses on our page.Broken Verses was born out of brokenness - brokenness of the heart, the soul and that love which died young and tender. We meet love at various crossroads of life, sometimes it lives with us, and sometimes it leaves us. But no matter what, it lives within us. Always. Every poem in this book is an exploration of the love that left us, but did not quite leave us. It is the love that awakens in the dark hours of the night; it is the ghost that haunts us in the early morning.A critic measures poem in meters and figures of speech, but a reader measures a poem in the sentiments it spills all over him. This is where broken verses seek to build a bridge between the readers and their own, unexpressed emotions. It is the fear of rejection that is so innate to all of us. It is the loneliness that we have all experienced and have lived through at some point. The strange hollowness of a life in a crowded city where the days are filled with emptiness. Broken verses speak to that part of us, which craves connection. It is a humble attempt in a world where everyone talks, but no one ever has a conversation. It is the feeling of having a hand to hold in a place of lost faces and voices.Sometimes, being in love can be the longest, toughest and loneliest journey, and with broken verses, I passionately aspire to be a protagonist of that journey to evince that you are not alone....REVIEWSA truly soul touching experience and the most refined form of poetry depicting love in its simplest forms. -Nishat ShamsiFormer Journalist (CNN News18)One falls in love with these poems about love and everything around it.
